External Access

[sub]

Connect fine on local just when I out and the IP is 192.168.0.18 and pin 0000

When you're away from home your IP address is not 192.168.0.18. That is an local network address, only visible from within your home.

If you google "what is my ip address", it'll show you your (current) public ip address. To be able to connect to that remotely though, you'd need to configure your router to forward external requests for port 8866 to your 192.168.0.18 machine (otherwise your home router will ignore the request, and the app will fail to connect).

I can't seem to get this working either (externally)

I've setup port forwarding in my router and verified via browser.

Android app works fine for local access, however when I attempt to hit via external IP and port, I get a login failure. I can access externally via same IP and port via web browser.

Attached is filtered log (I've removed my external IP and port)

1st attempt - Android app - local network access - successful
2nd attempt - Android app - external address and port - unsuccessful
3rd attempt - Web browser (same android device) external address and port - successful

Any ideas?

Does this updated NRecord.exe help?

if you can PM me your pin number, I'll do the math to check those login numbers add up correctly.

(though I'm a bit busy next few hours)

PM sent with info requested.

I dunno if it's relevant ... you have ...

In my logs ... NextPVR is receiving the true external IP address of the Android device. In your logs ... NextPVR appears to be receiving the IP address of the router.

Something similar happens with connections to NEWA using a web browser from an external IP address ... but it appears that NEWA is able to handle both scenarios correctly (true external IP or local router IP).

Interesting...

In mine, host_callback is the external IP, and the client_ip is my router.

Code:

2018-04-05 21:42:51.139 [DEBUG][4] client_ip: 192.168.1.1
2018-04-05 21:42:51.139 [DEBUG][4] host_callback: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:yyyyy

How does that relate to yours?

Code:

2018-04-06 10:25:55.842 [DEBUG][32] client_ip: 85.255.237.37

The 92. address is the external address of my router.

The IP address that is reported by my phone in Android Settings --> About phone --> Status is 10.something. This is a private address that cannot connect to the Internet. My phone provider must have a router that does network address translation and the 85. address in my web.log is the external IP address assigned by the phone provider router.

How are you connecting your Nexus 7 to the Internet?

I connected via the xfinity wifi access point on my router.
